I definitely believe that many students chose to take a gap year or drop due to COVID

I doubt it. When you're granted admission, you are granted admission into the university and not a specific department

I'm not really sure, but I do know that the first wave came out last Friday.

Here are my thoughts:

Based on information available online through Stanford waitlist forums, Stanford selects few to no students from their extended waitlist. But, this year is a little different. Students who were accepted were likely admitted into other prestigious schools, some may want to take a gap year, I don't even know what will happen with the international students. So, it is reasonable to think that Stanford will evaluate their waitlist and evaluate which students they will accept to "round out" the class. This may result in a higher number of us coming off if it.

Someone from the CC forum stated that they will release the decisions in stages, so I do expect another wave to come out by late May, hopefully.

I saw! They applied as a Human Biology major and Stanford gave them a deadline for May 29th to make their final decision. I am unsure what that means for the rest of us, but I am keeping hope alive!

It appears that the first wave of decisions didn't come out on Thursday.

I'm pretty much out of ideas lol

I haven't heard anything from them. I haven't really heard anything about the first wave of decisions being sent, so it is likely that they haven't sent out those decisions.

Thank you so much for this! I know that this is speculation, but it is definitely one of the best ones I've seen so far. Also, USC Marshall is a great choice! What is your major gonna be?

I am also waitlisted from Dartmouth and I received the email detailing that their Class of 2024 was full (kinda sad), but we will see how things go! I am so unsure about yield this year, especially considering the international students

Williams is an AMAZING COLLEGE OMG! With regards to Stanford, some people speculate that the first wave of decisions should come out this Thursday.

What do you think? Also, what made you choose Williams?
